SteveBrooking Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hi My knowledge of the variations in designation of the early Tomahawks is not impressive but, as far as I can see from the Air Britain lists, 26Sqn had just three IIAs AH887, AH893 and AH903. There is a bit of information around that indicates during 1941 and 1942 aircraft 'A' was usually flown by F/Lt E F P 'Sam' Wheller. In the 26 Sqn ORB there are no records of operations in 1942 so no records of serials but at the end of 1941 Wheller is recorded flying AH893.

Work In Progress Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 However, against that the IWM has AH893 / RM-D and AH896 / RM-Y as IIAs in this shot, with AH791 / RM-E as a I. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205126935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Some years ago a friend of mine was searching for RM.C, his wife's initials, but had no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 And I'm hoping to discover an RMoS, either Tomahawk or Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
